Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Tintte is a legitimate ClimateTech startup based in Argentina/Chile developing bacteria-based textile pigments to reduce pollution. While the submission itself contained low-quality, erroneous claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', 'audience reach: everyone'), external verification confirms the project is in the pilot/seed stage, has raised ~$400k (SF500 fund), and is participating in accelerators like MassChallenge. The discrepancy between the poor submission quality and the high potential of the verified project results in a moderate score that acknowledges its technical promise and early funding while penalizing the lack of serious reporting.
